I am using below solution for IIS hosting in ASP.NET compatibility mode. Credits to Rodney Viana's MSDN blog.
Add following to your web.config under appSettings:
<add key="LogPath" value="C:\\logpath" />
<add key="LogRequestResponse" value="true" />
Replace your global.asax.cs with below (also fix namespace name):
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Configuration;
namespace Yournamespace
{
public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected static bool LogFlag;
protected static string fileNameBase;
protected static string ext = "log";
// One file name per day
protected string FileName
{
get
{
return String.Format("{0}{1}.{2}", fileNameBase, DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"), ext);
}
}
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LogFlag = bool.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LogRequestResponse"].ToString());
fileNameBase = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LogPath"].ToString() + @"\C5API-";
}
protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (LogFlag)
{
// Creates a unique id to match Rquests with Responses
string id = String.Format("Id: {0} Uri: {1}", Guid.NewGuid(), Request.Url);
FilterSaveLog input = new FilterSaveLog(HttpContext.Current, Request.Filter, FileName, id);
Request.Filter = input;
input.SetFilter(false);
FilterSaveLog output = new FilterSaveLog(HttpContext.Current, Response.Filter, FileName, id);
output.SetFilter(true);
Response.Filter = output;
}
}
protected void Application_AuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
class FilterSaveLog : Stream
{
protected static string fileNameGlobal = null;
protected string fileName = null;
protected static object writeLock = null;
protected Stream sinkStream;
protected bool inDisk;
protected bool isClosed;
protected string id;
protected bool isResponse;
protected HttpContext context;
public FilterSaveLog(HttpContext Context, Stream Sink, string FileName, string Id)
{
// One lock per file name
if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(fileNameGlobal) || fileNameGlobal.ToUpper() != fileNameGlobal.ToUpper())
{
fileNameGlobal = FileName;
writeLock = new object();
}
context = Context;
fileName = FileName;
id = Id;
sinkStream = Sink;
inDisk = false;
isClosed = false;
}
public void SetFilter(bool IsResponse)
{
isResponse = IsResponse;
id = (isResponse ? "Reponse " : "Request ") + id;
//
// For Request only read the incoming stream and log it as it will not be "filtered" for a WCF request
//
if (!IsResponse)
{
AppendToFile(String.Format("at {0} --------------------------------------------", DateTime.Now));
AppendToFile(id);
if (context.Request.InputStream.Length > 0)
{
context.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;
byte[] rawBytes = new byte[context.Request.InputStream.Length];
context.Request.InputStream.Read(rawBytes, 0, rawBytes.Length);
context.Request.InputStream.Position = 0;
AppendToFile(rawBytes);
}
else
{
AppendToFile("(no body)");
}
}
}
public void AppendToFile(string Text)
{
byte[] strArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Text);
AppendToFile(strArray);
}
public void AppendToFile(byte[] RawBytes)
{
bool myLock = System.Threading.Monitor.TryEnter(writeLock, 100);
if (myLock)
{
try
{
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
{
stream.Position = stream.Length;
stream.Write(RawBytes, 0, RawBytes.Length);
stream.WriteByte(13);
stream.WriteByte(10);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string str = string.Format("Unable to create log. Type: {0} Message: {1}\nStack:{2}", ex, ex.Message, ex.StackTrace);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(str);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Flush();
}
finally
{
System.Threading.Monitor.Exit(writeLock);
}
}
}
public override bool CanRead
{
get { return sinkStream.CanRead; }
}
public override bool CanSeek
{
get { return sinkStream.CanSeek; }
}
public override bool CanWrite
{
get { return sinkStream.CanWrite; }
}
public override long Length
{
get
{
return sinkStream.Length;
}
}
public override long Position
{
get { return sinkStream.Position; }
set { sinkStream.Position = value; }
}
//
// For WCF this code will never be reached
//
public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
{
int c = sinkStream.Read(buffer, offset, count);
return c;
}
public override long Seek(long offset, System.IO.SeekOrigin direction)
{
return sinkStream.Seek(offset, direction);
}
public override void SetLength(long length)
{
sinkStream.SetLength(length);
}
public override void Close()
{
sinkStream.Close();
isClosed = true;
}
public override void Flush()
{
sinkStream.Flush();
}
// For streamed responses (i.e. not buffered) there will be more than one Response (but the id will match the Request)
public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
{
sinkStream.Write(buffer, offset, count);
AppendToFile(String.Format("at {0} --------------------------------------------", DateTime.Now));
AppendToFile(id);
AppendToFile(buffer);
}
}
}
It should create log file in the folder LogPath with request and response XML.
